Dantonio denied portions of the report, which alleges that at least 16 MSU players were accused of sexual assault or violence against women dating back to 2007, the beginning of his tenure in East Lansing.

“Any accusations of my handling of any complaints of sexual assault individually are completely false,” Dantonio told reporters. “Every incident reported in that article was documented either by police or the Michigan State Title IX office. I’ve always worked with the proper authorities when dealing with sexual assault.”

Dantonio also denied reports that he is planning to resign as MSU’s football coach.

“Absolutely false,” he said.

But Friday’s report details that there were several more incidents at the school that never saw public light after being reported internally.

One of those cases, according to the report, was swept under the rug by Dantonio speaking with the accused’s mother about the case. From MSU sexual assault counselor Lauren Allswede, per the ESPN report:

Allswede told Outside the Lines that about seven years ago, an attorney from the university’s general counsel’s department came to her office to try to reassure her that coaches were taking allegations of sexual violence seriously. Allswede says the attorney told her how Dantonio, the football coach, had dealt with a sexual assault accusation against one of his players: He had the player talk to his mother about what he had done.
